France is the first wine producer, whose quality depends initially on type of vines, the soils and the climates. The wine is generally drunk in glass of 12.5 Cl called balloon.
The vineyard of Languedoc-Roussillon recovers most of the departments of the Aude, Gard and Hérault, on a surface of 300,000 hectares, which makes the vastest viticultural area of it, of the World.
The vineyards of Saint-Jean-de-Buèges form part of the protected designation of origin, Terrasses-du-larzac or coteaux-du-languedoc Terrasses-du-larzac, which are a local name of the AOC coteaux-du-languedoc.

The culture of the vine in France existed well before our era and the very first colony created by the Romans on the territory of current France, as of 118 before J.C.
The wine making would exist since millenia, discoveries made in Iran made it possible to speak of 7000 years.

Saint-Jean-de-Buèges, overlooked by Séranne mountain, 940 m with highest, and causse of the Selle, is an authentic medieval village, nested in the valley of the buèges which crosses also the villages of Pégairolles-de-Buèges, Saint-Jean-de-Buèges and Saint-Andre-de-Buèges.
It is a place splendid and quiet, no surge of mass, it is the field of the amateurs of nature, uneven and beautiful images. One takes there also time to live on the terrace of single and small tavern of the valley.

Vassal of the baronnie of Pégairolles, the seigniory of "Saint-Jean-de-Buèges" appears in the texts into 990.

The Buèges river takes its source in the commune of Pégairolles-de-Buèges, near the hamlet of Méjanel, by a karstic resurgence, draining part of water of the solid mass of Séranne and is Causse of Larzac. This 12 km length river is thrown in Herault, after having disappeared in the rocks limestones on a few kilometers from course, reappearing on the surface only by abundant rain.

Hello Joël,
A well conceived composition of the wine tasting. It is well framed and the square format is perfectly suited. I like the hand with the expectant glass and the pretty foreground flowers. I see they have a nice mix of red and rosé, can't wait to get there!
